Blues boss Simon Garner will face dad, Carl, at Shawbridge after Hatters boss Neil Young offered him the role of head of recruitment at Edgeley Park in May.

The fixture will also see Danny Morton return to the Ribble Valley after the full back made the switch to the National League North outfit earlier in the summer. The game will kick-off at 3 p.m.
